Happy Thursday! I hope your week has been a good one and you are ready for the weekend. We are supposed to get a "cold front" here in Texas tomorrow, so it might acutally NOT be 90 this weekend. Woo Hoo! I think rain is in the forecast with it, but oh well. I'll take the cooler temperatures. I went and stamped a little after dinner tonight and this was my card. I made it for the Fall challenge at The Paper Players. I tried to use the sketch from Mojo Monday but I was dealing with Laila trying to take my chair and I missed part of the sketch. I used the new Winnie & Walter set that I won last week and I love it. The sentiments are just so beautiful.

Ink: Early Espresso, Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke
Paper: Early Espresso, Crushed Curry, Whisper White

I don't know how many of you read the Simon Says Stamp blog, but go check this out! I was so excited today!
We got our Hope Calendar pictures this week and I love this one so, so much. I can't wait to send off for prints so I can send it out to our family. Today was an eventful day. She's been crawling under the last gate we have up so we decided to go ahead and take it down. Oh my! She doesn't want to leave my craft room now and she insists that my chair is hers. lol I might be sitting in a folding chair stamping for a while. ;-) She also (out of nowhere) knows how to open doors. I knew that would happen soon, but man! We've been working to make sure any and all chemicals are put away in every room now because she can go anywhere really. Crazy how fast they grow and learn new stuff.
What a gorgeous card, Rita! That tree is really spectacular. Thanks for joining us at The Paper Players.
